On Question

Of Finances

*C.B.’ Has Right Right to Know His Financial Position, Jane Says.

Bring your problems up for discussion - in this column. Jane Jordan will ahswer your letters daily.

DEAR JANE JorDAN— How much is an engaged girl entitled to know about her fiance's financial situation? I have been going steady

with a fellow of 30 years for six years, and while I realize that he has had some tough breaks with the depression‘ and all that, I can’t get any place with him when I broach the subject of money— mainly saving money. I am 26 years old and have a lot of enthusiasm and ideas as to _ what we should be doing to get ourselves established in life, but our situation looks pretty dreary. A year ago I thought if we pooled our savings in a joint account at the. bank it might help the situation. It worked for about two months and all of a sudden he just failed to deposit something every week. If I broach the subject he seems uncomfortable, He can’t understand why I should be impatient and just recently asked me to be patient a little longer. I have accumulated $300 and could have more, but it is so uninteresting | to save by myself when I don't | know what he is doing in that re- | spect. I think if we're both trying | to reach the same goal we should | be going by the same road. I don't know if I'm being unreasonable in expecting to know where we stand financially after six years or not. . He makes me feel that I am unreasonable, but it is just my desire to get ahead.—C. B. re ANSWER—People as a whole fall into two character types, the active and the passive, the getters and the receivers. The types are not always sharply defined in each person singe most of us have some of each in our make-up. Usually we lean more heavily tow ard one group than the other. | The aim of both types is the same: To get pleasure from life. But the method of getting it differs. The active types are direct in their at- | tack on life. want by taking it. They are the | fighters, the conquerors, the over- | comers. They wish to make the environment dependent on them, not vice versa. The passive types simply wait for pleasure. They are persons who | have rather childish attitudes in | that they expect their lives to be given to them. Lacking in self- | reliance, they use their apparent helplessness to inspire tenderness | and care. Anyone who has observed | children in their development must have noticed how clever some* of | them are in using their helplessness to awaken the tenderness of their parents, thereby securing all sorts of advantages for themselves. Others rely on rebellion and defiance to wrest what they wait from distracted and bewildered parents. Usually we associate the active type with the masculine character | and the passive type with the feminine character, although it is obvious that it doesn’t always “work out that way. My guess is that in the case of you and your | fiance the roles are reversed. You | |

are the go-getter and he is the sitter. What you can do about it I do not know unless you decide that | you require a more aggressive man | as a mate. It often happens, how- | ever, than an active, adequate, aggressive woman is attracted to al

man of a more passive nature. His |

inadequacy gives her the chance to |’

occupy the superior position. His | weakness calls forth her maternal | instincts to cherish and protect. By | his very need of her strength he binds her to him. Occasionally she grows restive under the load ahd tries to energize him by the force of her own drive. I do not think you are unreasonable in wanting to know where, you stand financially, or in your wish to see some active progress toward | your goal. You simply will have to accept the difference in your natures and face the fact that it| will always be so. If the man has | some lucky breaks in life he may | succeed, but I doubt if he is one who will make his own opportunities. JANE JORDAN.

Eyes Have It

Reasonable Frustration Trains Child

Must Be Learned, Not Too Harshly.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

“Never disappoint a little child. Never break a promise,” has been the very backbone of modern training. : Since too many children are disappointed and too many promises are broken, it is going to be very hard to discuss these points, particularly when we are trying so hard to build up trust and faith between parents and children. But - suppose we say, “Never disappoint a- man or woman, and let life never break a promise to them.” All lessons of life, to be genuine and part of us, must be learned early. So it would seem that toddlers
